Review on Knipoch House Hotel

Nestling beside Loch Feochan in the heart of the Argyll countryside, the Knipoch Hotel has been run by three generations of the Craig family since 1981 - although the building itself can trace its colourful history back several centuries.

Evening meals in the restaurant are one of the highlights of a stay here, and the kitchen offers a broad selection of elaborate fashioned international dishes with a familiar accent. The menu kicks off with a choice of four soups, or you might prefer to start with chilled smoked scallops with lemon mayonnaise and caviar. Medallions of venison with rich game sauce and rowan jelly, breast of chicken with creamy paprika sauce or poached salmon with hollandaise sauce are typical mains, while desserts are things like strawberry meringues with fresh strawberries in Beaujolais sauce.
